Besides being super pretty to look at, this easy vegetable skillet is incredibly fresh and delicious. Zucchini and squash are my all-rime favorite vegetables, dating back to my teen years when I discovered deep fried zucchini. My grandma loved to make fried zucchini. She would make it at least once a week during the spring and summer when squash is readily available and inexpensive. And Zucchini Bread, oh her famous Zucchini Bread!

As an adult, I began to love making zucchini in a variety of ways, both baked in desserts and sauteed with a meal. All you need is a little butter and salt and you’ve got a kick-butt side dish that is hearty and healthy.

Zucchini also lends itself to a variety of different flavor profiles – in blends in seamlessly with Italian dishes, like my Hidden Veggie Lasagna Roll-Ups, and it stand up to the smoky flavor of sausage. It’s also mild enough that it can bulk up a variety of baked goods from bread to cookies to muffins to cakes.

My only issue with zucchini, and it’s a minor one, is that if you plan to eat it just diced up, you have to cook it right. One wrong move and it’s mushy-town and you don’t want that! So follow my tips in the recipe below and you’ll have a hearty skillet of Parmesan Zucchini and Corn that will knock your socks off!
